Doing a git clean is a dick move.

No backup, no sympathy.

Screenshots of git issues are one of my favorite genres of meme

Often times, people learn that the stove is hot by touching it.

It's easier to blame the stove than the person who touched it. But if you laugh when you watch it happen, you're probably not laughing at the stove.

That has the same energy as complaining that a file manager has "Delete" in the context menu.

Typical web developer. He didn’t even know files can be deleted without going into „recycle bin”

While I have some sympathy for anyone who loses months of work, as an IT administrator by day, all I have to say about their lack of backups, and lack of RTFM before messing with shit is:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA. you got what you deserved fucker. GL.YF.

PEBKAC

Man I get paranoid about synchronization programs for this very reason. There's usually some turnkey easy-mode enabled as soon as you first launch that's like:

"Hey you wanna back up your entire NAS to your phone?! That'll be fun, right?!"

And you're like "...No."

And then it wants to obliterate everything so it's all "synchronized", often it's not easy to find a "No, stop, don't do anything at all until I configure this." Option.

iTunes was SO BAD about this.

Syncthing is the least-bad sync software I've ever run. It's got some footguns but it's still brilliant.

I would imagine there's still ways to back up version controlled software right?

I'm sure that the "three months of work" was completely shit code. Anybody who is unfamiliar with source control (or even backups!) is prone to making stupid mistakes. Republican voters are likely to have a similar experience over the next 4 years.

Jesus saves, and so should you
